La Maliosa d'Arienzo

The actual property was reflective of the photos and description on *******. The staff was very kind and polite, attentive to our needs. Gorgeous view from our balcony. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay here again.

Very limited facilities and small rooms for the price in comparison to others in Positano we have stayed at

25 minute walk to Positano, the buses are not reliable so be prepared to walk. Cleanliness was average, beautiful views from the entire property

Just entering the gate to ask for information was enough for the attendants to kick us out with no respect. Kindness and politeness are unknown to the people working there who not consider that people walking through the doors could turn into potential customers

Very nice property. As in all of Positano, many stairs to reach the beach area. Staff was very helpful. As it is about 20 min walk outside Positano and far from restaurants, I highly recommend using the free dinner shuttle that La Maliosa has with 3 different restaurants. The restaurants are all pricey in this area, but you do not want to add on 2 one-way fares for taxi service which can be 30-35Euro each way. Taxi service is very expensive in this area and bus service is completely overcrowded. For a quiet get away in a beautiful area, La Maliosa is a very good bed and breakfast.

The room was small for the price we paid, it said sleep 4 but definitely max 3 people can make it. The area outside is full of mosquitoes and the breakfast is served only from 7:30 to 9:30, we hurried to have breakfast and 2 of the boiled eggs we opened where completely rotten.

The hotel itself is a bit far away from the main part of Positano, it’s above Treville actually as we saw the water taxis below. Host Anna was amazing and greeted us upon arrival. She was so lovely and helped us with booking cars during a busy high season (which was needed to get back/forth from town approx $30-40 p ride), helped us speak to local restaurants about reservations and also was just awesome in general. We used a local boat company she recommended for our private boat tour. We did not interface much with other staff but they were also friendly enough. Anna was our main person we felt connected with and she was also the friendliest. The hotel itself is charming but definitely a more on the dated side. The fountains on the grounds did not work, the lounge chairs did not have any cushions or covers on them. For hotel rooms the pillows could use a replacement as the batting inside was matted and not fluffy (which is why some friends I know being their own pillows on trips) and same with the bedding and sheets. Everything was super clean though and the inclusive breakfast spread was lovely. After we checked out they said we owed a 3euro pp charge per day (asked for us to pay in cash) which is not much but it would have been great for that to be charged when we booked? So what we would have left is just any incidentals? We wanted to share a tip with Anna directly at check-out for being so helpful during our stay but we didn’t see her prior to our 6:30am car pick up.

The highlight of this property are the views and the hotel grounds! Breakfast views and views from the front of the room are extraordinary. Staff is very kind. Room is pretty basic and you can often hear neighbors but I really didn’t mind. It was a unique stay. It is a bit out of town from Positano (which I liked for the peacefulness). It’s about a 30 min walk to the harbor and 15-20 mins of that is on some hairpin turn roads thst can be a bit scary to walk on because of the close cars if you’re not used to it (all the locals do it though). Only thing I didn’t like was that there were no instructions for the safe and when I asked I was given the code to open it but couldn’t customize the code which kind of defeats the purpose. The property felt extremely safe however
